Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulation Relating to Proofs of 
Claim Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act (CERCLA)

    Notice is hereby given that on September 12, 2007, a proposed 
Stipulation Relating to Proofs of Claim for El Paso County Metals 
Survey Site and Dona Ana Metal Site was filed with the United States 
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in In re. Asarco 
LLC., No. 05-21207 (Bankr. S.D. Tex.). The proposed Stipulation entered 
into among the United States on behalf of the Environmental Protection 
Agency, State of New Mexico, City of El Paso, and Asarco LLC 
(``Asarco'') provides, inter alia, that the United States estimates 
that the cost to Asarco for completion of residential soils cleanups 
after May 1, 2007 at the El Paso Site in El Paso, Texas, will not 
exceed $4,770,000, and that Asarco's estimated liability to the United 
States with respect to all other response actions or costs that may be 
incurred at the El Paso Site after May 1, 2007 will not exceed $50,000 
per year. These estimates are premised on the assumption that Asarco 
will perform the remaining work required for soil remediation, and the 
Stipulation is also without prejudice to the positions of the United 
States, Asarco, and the City of El Paso regarding the injunctive order 
for work with respect to the El Paso Site.

proposed Stipulation for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
